Last week I asked a question about how sailors in the Age of Discovery first reacted to the southern sky, I'd still be interested if anyone knew anything about it.

On another note, a big shoutout to /u/grshirley, who actually contacted the curator of the Australian Army Infantry Museum, to find out, whether a boomerang hand grenade actually existed.

I think /u/Celebreth gave an excellent series of responses about the look of Late-Republican Rome [in this thread] (http://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/2vv7eq/if_i_traveled_to_rome_in_50_bc_how_much_would_it/). Seriously, this is great stuff!

Unfortunately, I didn't get an answer to my question about the cultural North-South divide in Europe. I know it's a big question, but any insight on this topic would be really helpful.

I would like to recommend the excellent if non-exhaustive answer by /u/coree to my admittedly narrow question on Parisian society dinners in the late 19th century.

An excerpt:

The public café allowed for women to exist in public in ways they never were able to before. That being said, it was still more common to see women of a certain condition in public: actresses, most notably, or unwed women that were known to be mistresses of wealthy men.

These dîners des rieuses could be (and I'm speculating here), a sort of performance for these types of women. I would bet that not many married women frequented them... which I base on your citation of "theatre-ladies." Actresses were almost never married, unless they achieved a type of success reserved for women like Sarah Bernhardt.

Perhaps its because I posted too late at night, but I had a bunch of questions about Edo Period Japan as depicted in the Zatoichi series and only one answer

Given the interest and topicality of religious violence i was surprised this post: "Were there any violent Jainist sects?" didn't get any responses that really addressed the topic. There is one good dogmatic answer but information on jainist sects is so far lacking.

Just like with this thread, I was also late to this question about why Austria never became a kingdom and was looking forward to answering it until I saw that /u/notamacropus had already provided a perfect answer.
